Lead Free Brass Sheet & Plate
Overview
With global regulations tightening on lead content — RoHS in electronics, drinking-water norms for plumbing, and food-contact requirements — lead-free brass has become essential for manufacturers serving regulated industries. MEI’s lead-free 63/37 brass (MEI-63L) is produced with lead certified at or below 50 ppm, verified by spectro analysis on every lot, giving exporters and food-grade manufacturers documented compliance their customers will accept.
